THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY EXTRACT& FROM THE W)RNING PAPERS, JUN I; 10, ROL [THE TIMES.] The right spirit is acting with vigour and success in various quarters of the kingdom. Westminster has frightened away air intruders from the camp of Toryism ; there the war is - already; ended ; the pub lic enemy has capitulated without a blow. As Sir Francis Burdett has misconstrued a phrase or two of ours, addressed as part of a general exhortation to the friends of constitutional liberty, we shall dwell upon that point just long enough to repeat, though in less Metaphorical language than on Thursday last, that when corruption, as in Scotland, becomes excessive and in tolerable, it has a direct tendency to cure, itself, like most other Moral eVils. The grand consideration of all is, that, the people should be impressed with the urgent necessity of forcing iuto Parliament such repre sentatives: as will help by their votes in every instance to put down those abuses through which bad member:4 are returned,' acid to cut away those resources out of which bad services are paid. If something like popu larity of election be not general through England, there will be no responsible House of Commons ; without conscious responsibility in the griardialis of the national interests, there will be no fair or upright application of the public money—bribery always forms a large portion of. the system of extravagance and wastess-bsiberri furnished by prodigality are always turned against liberty,—and thus political vices of dif ferent denominations re-act upon arid re-produce each other. The Scotch system, 'seems even while we write about it, to have been illustrating, in a remarkable manner, our hopes of its tending to self-destruction. In another tallith will be found, extracted from' an Edinburgh newspaper, a. curious allusion to some proceedings at lialinburgh to 'shake off the odious yoke of the Dundas family ; one of whom, the late member for the Scotch capital, is painted in the nar rative to which we refer as at once using and insulting his constituents. This has, at length, stirred their tame and drowsy blood ; and in Edinburgh, the head quarters of" virtual representation," an idle and un popular sineenrist, entailed upon his country by the late Henry Dundas, of place-loving and place-dis pensing memory, bids Eris, even yet, to have " a se cond spoon in his porridge." In Yorkshire the tone of honour and liberality is held high by the manly voice of Lord Milton and of Mr. Marshall, his able coadjutor. We see some things occurring in the city which are not prin./41;0e to be justified. why has Mr. Garrett become a candidate, after assuring the Livery generally, and the present Lord Mayor particularly, many months ago, that he would not? The latter gentleman would, it seems,, never have gone to the expellee, and trouble of pushing his interest with the Livery as a candidate for their support at this election, had it not been for the confidence reposed in Alder man's Garratt's promise. There is nothing so con temptible' as breach of faith in cases where men's words'are the only. security ; but the ofince is often, at least among Englishmen, followed with a severe retribution. . , Lik49lll4tra) cuitoxicLE.] ' Jr 1 rands, ti —iirdett and Mr. Hohhouse were yes, lerday elected, without opposition, for Westminster This remit was very generally anticipated. A great part of Sir Francis's speech conistcd of a comment on an artie i S 'in 'the Tins of Thor ,41.ay, on the contrast l i . which 60,181g1 at, th is moment pmeuts to the rest of the United Kingdom: The Times had very truly stated, that "the most rotten of ,English or Irish boroughs exhibits nothing more close or unimprove able than the humbug of repreientation throughout the whole of Scotland: . Popular representation to Scot• land there is none.. Au far as the influence of the Scotch representation in the House of Commons ex.; tends, ,it is a pure addition to the oligarchy of the country. . That portion, of the ilritish oligarchy has, no doubt, its individuals, actuated by a lovo for the public good—just. as we , have seen Sovereigns . in Eurppe—as Leopold, in Tuscany, for instance, de voting their time and their talents to the good of their people. Hence ,IVIi. Flume holds his Seat in Perlin .- merit tinder the Scotch Oligarchy. We owe the good in the Scotch representation to the caprice of indivi duals of rank, and not to the influence of the people over those who return the Members.. But, if we un derstand the object of representation, it is • not so much a privilege to the particular places re turning Members, as a security to the nation that the second branch of the, Legislature bus been so chosen as to be identified with the whole nation ; so that a particti. gar class may not take upon itself to prosecute its own separate , interests in the name of the people, over whom it has ustiroed the coutraul, in defiance of the general will. As far as Scotland. itself is con cerned, the improvement of its representation would he a little consequence ,to it, if such improve ment had not the effect of so far changing the character of the Representation of the United Kingdom, as to . .make it an . effective - guar dian of the general interest, in which case it woulkshere, in the general improvement. If the isii provement of 'the Scotch Representation did not alter the general character of the whole, the effect to Scot land and England would be reduced,to the amount of benefit which Parliament might derive from an ems sion of honest and energetic men, who, though they might ' not affect the votes, yet would improve the tone of public opinion, through the expression of their sentiments in the House of Commons. Sir F. Burdett says, " the great majority ' of the House of Commons is rejurnect by corruption alone," and AS , suming, as he did that the Mode of our representa tion was the parent of " all the system of corruption in the, House of Cinrmions," he very fairly sunk the partial corruption of Semiarid in the greeter and in fluential:corruption of 'England. If the representa tion of England we re reformed, that, of Scotland would follow as A matter of course; but, if the aristo cracy of England were in one of their merry moods •to consent to the reform of the representation of Scot land, , the reform 'of the representation of ,England would by no Imam! fOlow as a matter of course. The reasoning Of Sir 'Francis:was, in every respect, unim. peaohaW, and the conclusion followed necessarily from hit premises. The ' subject a d m it s o f b e i ng viewed - in . another light. From the moment th at Scotland merged by the Union in Englaud, she l i ne ,. pac itated herself frolll making any future ininrovement in her Constitution. sh e hecairie afterward s entirely dependent on the will of the English Parliament ; b e . cause, even gUpposing by some unaccountable eaprice her forty-five Representatives were to be seized with a fit of virtuous i n ai c ration 4 the political corruption of their , country, their voice would avail no more than the majorities of the m ere Irish Members avail in the case of Catholic Emancipation. If Scotland bad not been united to England, the existing state possible. It is of her representation would be im the strength of England which. keeps ,Scotland down, just as it keeps down the Irish Catholics. The people:of Scotland, from the time of the Reformation down to to the Union, were very bold experimenters, both in religion and politics. Buchanan, and K11(4, and Mel vit, were the most daring speculators in both, which modern Europe bad seen up to these times, and the people, with a pertinacity of which we belie ve there is hardly another example, struggled through the better part of two centuries for the realization of their fa vourite reforms, which they at length effected, though at the expellee of much bloodshed and suffering. They trod the mitre in the dust, in their own land ; and if their strength had been equal to their zeal, they would have laid it equally low in England. The peo ple of Scotland were in those days wonderfully well informed, considering their circumstances. Bishop Burnet, in his Memoirs, tells us that he was one of six Episcopal DiVines sent by Archbishop Leighton to'the Western Counties, in 1670, to argue with the people in favour of Episcopacy. "We were indeed amazed (be says) to see a poor Commonalty so capa ble to argue upon points of government, and on the bounds to be set to the power of Princes in matters of religion This measure of knowledge was spread even among the meanest of them, their cottagers and their servants. " If their zeal had not been controuled by the superior power and superior wealth of England, there is every 'reason that the Scotch, after carrying their Church by the sword, would at least have attempted to reform the State, ac cording to the measure. of theirknowledge. But by the Union, Scotland became a mere provin6e of England, left in possession,of the Institutions in force at that Union, but with Out thopower of improving them her self. She is indebted to her own exertions for her Church, and her national education ; she is indebted to her connection with England for peaes, and a par-' ticipation in, all the advantages enjoyed hy,her more powerful and wealthy . neighbour. But she is a mere point in the system of England, hardly equal in re sources to one of her counties, and must he contented to take the direction which the Aristocracy of Englend is pleased to give to her. By 'the bye, we think, the opinion so happily expressed by Sir Francis, that " he did not expect any reform from the Parliament itself, but from the increase of knowledge amongst the people (arid from all that he could learn on this subject, there was a great improvement in the public mind,) and a growing conviction of the necessity for having a just and. free Government, was not altogether in unison with the sentiment expressed by him in the outset ; that, "when they witnessed the ability with which se veral honest and practical men had made attempts to procure econouncal.reform, and check a wasteful ex penditure, and when they witnessed. with what efl'ect these attempts had been made, 'they would be con- vinced that it was not possible any thing could be ob tained, while the interest of the great body of the House of Commons was contrary to the interests of the country." This is the unction which too many honest membeis of the House of Commons lay to their souls, as an apology for their want of exertion.— If we admit it as an axiom, that when truth and error are 'presented to the mind, in the majority of eases, the truth will be received in preference to the error, we must also admit, that / with a view of enlightening the great body of the people of England,so as to impress them with the necessity of having a just and free Govern.. ment, the combat with error and corruption cannot be too strenuously maintained in the Howie of Commons. it is trite that the votes might remain the same, though there were ten able speakers on the right side instead of one ; but the effect on the public mind would not remain the same. We have seen the effect of the exertions of one intrepid and indefatigable man ; in opening the eyes of the people of England with respect to abuses ; and we ,cannot, therefore, hesitate to con- dude, that the effect would he, inealeulabtLigreater, were the proportion of industry greater. tce great thing is to enlighten the people. Sir Francis, indeed, contributed nobly towards the Institution in this rne tropolis, for ditFusing knowledge among the people ; but Much might also 1w due in the House of Cone- 01111.

Seale and Neate, two of the elec tors of Malmesbury, - in Wiltshire, who were spoken of in our re peated notices of Collins's case at this office, and whom Mr. Well, the solicitor to Colonel Catnary pledged himself more than once to. produce ti«i witnesses; in support of the Colonel's eharge, pre- Anted themselves on Thursday before Mr.: 111114siitym., aria com plained, through a spokesman who accompanied them, that the newspapers had made it appear that they (Seale and Neate) were unwilling, to come Mrward togive the necessary evidence. it appeared Midas from what he had seen in Atilier'nMjewl44B4u', said, erls'thalno such impreision was intended to be con veyed: No imputation of that kind had been cast upon the ap plicants during, the investigation, and he felt convinced that no one would have insinuated that they were unwilling to come forward, because all that was said respecting them was, that they were not in attendance, and that it was supposed they had not arrived in town. The apokesnian said, he was himself a burgess of Malmes bury, but them he was only it simple burgess; now, Messrs. Seale and Neate were capital burgesses, and in them and their brother capital-burgesses, the power of electing members was vested. They had been brought, at the instance of Mr. Well, • all the way froth Maltneanury, and were willing to give evidence, and it was now insinuated that they had kept away on purpose that they might not be called. The fact was, that on the even ing of the final examination, they were both at -a neighbouring tavern, ready to. come forward, but Mr. Well told them they were not wanted. Mr. Minsitutt. told them that if they were so Willing to give evidence, they should have been at the Ace, instead of being at a public-house. , The spokesman said they would have been, but that, Mr. Well told them to wait at the tavern aud, refresh themselves, and he would call them when they Were wanted. They waited and waited, and by and_by Mr. Well, came and told them that • they would not be wanted, for that the matter was all settled without them. Mr. Altrnitior.r. said be.IW noth►ng to find fault with in their conduct, and they might return to Mahnesbury with the consci ousness of having done all that Was required of them. MARLBOROUG H-STREET:—Yesterday a young woman, named ..E'dircifieth Nash, who has been in enstody for nearly a month, upon a charge of stabbing with intent to kill, or do to her some grievous bodily . harm,. another young fetnitle named Elizabeth Chi pps, was brought` before Mr. cox., NT, the sitting ma gistrate, for final examination. Such has been the dangerous state of prosecutrix, in consequence of the wounds inflicted upon her, that s h e has been unableto attend to give her evidence, and the investiga tion of the case was necessarily deferred from time to time. The pro ffteutrix being sworn, stated, that she lives with her mother in Lom- bard-court, St. Martin's-lane, and with whom the prisoner also lives as a - lodger. On the loth of last month, they were all sitting down at dinner, during which some trifling words passed between herself and the prisoner, and when dinner was over, and the pri saner removing the things from the table, she struck the proems. trix a blow on the face without any .provocation, and was about to repeat it. with her fist, when the prosecutrix put up her hands to resist her ; the prisoner then seized one of the knives from the table, and stabbed her with all her force in the face with it, ex claiming, that she would .scoop her eyes out. Fro:n the violence of the bloW she fell upon the floor covered with blood, and became quite insensible, in which state she continued until means were used to restore her, and on recovering she found herself in Middle sex Hospital ; and there she discovered that after she fell insen sible on the floor, she had received three or four stabs on the head and face, and a fourth through one of her . ..hands. She had conti nued ever since under medical treatment in the hospital; and it wen; orly a few days ago that she was declared to he entirely out of danger. On the 14th of May, the day previous to the prisoner's using the knife, they had a quarrel, and blows passed between them ; but the prosecutrix declared that on the day she was stabbed she had used no violent language to the prisoner, or at tempted to strike her. The another of the prosecutrix and another female, who were present at the transaction, fully confirmed the prosecutrix's state ment. The prisoner, who seemed to treat the whole affair with per fect indifference, said in her defence that the prosecutrix had struck her. before she' used the knife. This was, however, Nei- - 1 tively denied by all the witnesses. Mr. c(MANT said, that the prisoner was placed hy.this charge in a much mow serious situation than • she seemed to imagine.:.- She must be sent to take her trial for a capital felony ; and, if convicted, it was impossible to say what would be the result. The prisoner was then committed fur trial under Lord F.llen, borough's Act: A poor woman, apparentiy in a very destitute and miserable condition, indeed bordering upon starvation, applied to the Ma gistrate for his interference with the officers of the parish of St. Ann's, Soho, who refused to givd her any relief, although she has a legal claim upon that parish. • Sir Grottaz FARHANT, ,who was present, and• at once recog nized the wretched applicant as having made the same appeal 'to himself several days age, asked the poor creature if the parish had not relieved her yet. She replied that they had not. Sir Litortort then turning to Mr. Conant said, " Here is a poor woman, who is and has been for several days in a starving wretched condition. She was born in St. Ann's parish, and she resided in St. Giles 's parish, and neither perish will relieve her. She has been now tin six or seven days bandied about like a shut- Ono& from one parish to the other, and although she has by birth an undoubted legal claim on St. Antis parish, they treat all her applications with neglect." air Geottu FAHRANT and Mr. CoNANT then directed ,Sco field, the officer, to go with the poor woman to the officers of St. •Ann's parish, and desire that they would nnmediately provide for her, with an intimation, .thitt, if they did not, a very summary process would he need to compel them. CARLISLE RIOT. The following is a printed statement in general cir culation in the town : «A TRUE :STATEMENT Of the lamentable occurrences which took place this day, (Tues day) June Bth, in Shaddongate. I t is our pa i n ful duty to put on record a melancholy affray that took place this afternoon in Shaddongate, Carlisle, between certain inhabitants of that district and the soldiery. "Sir P. Musgrave, one of the candidates for this city, being in the course of hie canvass, with a party of his friends, was induced to go to the remotest part of Shaddougate, called, ' Mil turn't Buildings,' and having entered a yard for the purpose of soliciting sr freeman for hie vote, he wee surrounded by a large hotly of weavers, who represented to hint their bard and miserable situation: The passage of the yard being choked up with people, anxious to hear what was passing, Sir, Philip and his friends were compelled to remain, and endeavour to reason those who sur rounded them into the belief that his parliamentary conduct bad been proper and independent, and that his intentions were pure. They complained of Sir Philip's vote on the question of the corn end on Mr. Abercromlne'l motion respecting a reform of the representation of Edinburgh, and wished him to pledge him. self to vote in favoir of a radical reform in Parliament whenever the subject came before the House of Commons. " After a considerable time spent in conversation of this nature,• • Sir Philip and hie friends made their way out of the yard, and were soon after'asseiled with stone', brickbats, and other missiles of an offensiVe nature. The Hon. Baronet was repeatedly struck with stones, &c., his clothes were Cut, and he was evidently lamed. All the gentlemen who accompanied him were more or less abused, and Major Wilde was felled to the ground by a large atone, which hit hint on the head. Philip, with one or two gentle men, took shelter in a house near Messrs. Cockburn'' pipe-ma nufactory, and there remained with the door fastened inside two or thr6 hours. _ . In this state things remained for a long while; men, women, and children' being congregated in groups, discussing what had taken place. Amongst the intuit violent of the men, the prevail ing opinion seemed to be, that Sir Philip hail endured enough at the bands of the pop u l ace ; but the younger part of those 11.911tM.• bled, and perhap s sou , f ew females, appeared to think their tri and from other s ources , t f i r m on p i h ol tr e a bi s i 4 nco o i f n t p i l l e e t h e.

In about half an hour, a numerous p ar t y o f t h e hbth Re g in2 , 4 of Foot, now stationed here, proceeded by a few artinerY men, and accompanied by the Mayor and othera, marched towards the Shaddongate. As soon as they reached the New Brewery, they were saluted by tremendous showers of stones, whieb put them into some con fusion, and, no doubt, greatly exasperated them. The) formed against a wall, and loaded with ball. They were then ordered to march forward, after, it is to be presumed, the Riot Act hail been read. The mob, however, continued to assail them with terrible wines of stones; and what they came to the end of the new street, called Queen-street, they. .received the order to fire, which they obeyed with deadly fidelity. Unfortunately for hu manity, the soldier. engaged in this unhappy business are young in arms, and exhibited little of the coolness which is generally displayed by veterans. They were, in some measure, too, com manded by heartless understrapping peace-officers, and instructed to level their muskets at peaceable individuals, when, for every purpose of justice, they might have been elevated above the roofs of the houses, and so saved the flowing of human blood. " In this ever-to-be-lamented affray, one woman, standing'at her own door, at the head of Queen-street, with a key in her hand, was shot through the head, and died after heaving a single groan. Her name was Mary Birrell ; she was net married, and was about 22 years of age. " An orphan lad, about 15, named Skinner, had a ball shot through his ancle, and it is probable, his leg will have to he am putated. " A man, of the name of Robert Noble, was shot, whilst lie-a ing his children in the crowd. He is not yet dead, but there arc ten chances to one against his recovery. The ball entered his left breast. He is about 25 years of age, and has a wife and two children. " Last in this melancholy catalogue, it is our very painful duty to publish what has befallen an uncommonly tine little girl, of tin; name of Pattinson. She was sitting in the school Of a Mrs. Ste phens, who had taken the precaution to close her shutters, when a ball was shot thiough the' window, which struck the little Mno cent on the bead, and she fell s we are afraid, never to look up again in this world. Her age is about 14. We are sorry to hear that she is now dead. . _ " Such is a hasty sketch of this, melancholy. affray. Nearly 40 'shots were discharged. • Several bullets were fired at doors and wiintowe. Bow this? But we must refrain from comment., ..... "We had almost forgot to state, that, in the midst of the Uproar, Sir Philip Musgrave was conveyed away safely by his friends." , „ STATEMENTS AND OBSERVATIONS CONCERNING THE HULKS. By GEORGE HoLuon,n, Esq. M.P. Oyu. pp. 124. London, lti26 ( From Me Literary Chronicle. There are some persons who, by their talents or exploits ) , ao identify themselves with particular objects and events, that there is an involuntary association between theM ; thus Wellington and Waterloo chime as naturally as bread and butter. The late Lord Erskine was as much identified with trial by jury, as if be had invented it, and no one disputes the claim of Major Cartwright to the title of father of Parliamentary Reform, though he is the only parent of our acquaintance that never had a child ; and last, though not least, of these combinations, is that of Mr. Holfbrd, with the Milbank Penitentiary, of which he is the,alpha and omega. So much, indeed, is the name of this gentleman associated with that establishment, that when we read the title of his work, forgetting his legislative capacity, we unconsciously interpreted the M.P. which attaches to his name, as the initials of Milbank Peniten tiary, an error which would certainly be less pardonable a week hence, when the collectivewisdom of the country will, fora short time, lose the honour of those expressive capitals. After the' very active part Mr. Holford took in settling every thing at the Milbank Penitentiary, according to his own notion of justice and propriety, we did think he might have rested sa tisfied with the honours he there reaped, but man is naturally am bitions, and we doubt not but that, if Mr. Holford had all the gaols in England, Scotland, and Wales, and the town of Ber wick upon Tweed, regulated on his own plans, he would weep to think there were no more prisons to regenerate, as Alexander did, when, ,having conquered the world, be found his occupation gone, like that of Othello. • The new sphere of usefulness chalked out by Mr. Holford, is the hulks, where, on board some nine vessels, three thousand con victed criminals are confined. An investigation into the situation of these children of crime, is certainly Nery legitimate object for a member of Parliament, it would, however, have been se well, if, before Mr. Holford so severely, arraigned the system, he had made himself better acquainted with' it. In the preface, Mr. liolford says, " I look upon the bulks as regions unexplored, as forming a terra inroq,,ita, in which few. hasidu those who inhabit it, have sat foot." Were this really the ....Ise, or had Mr. liolford been shut out of them by a secre tary of State's order, as Sir Francis' Burdett . was front Cold Bath Fields Prison, we need not be surprised at the blunders he commits; but the fact is that the hulks are more easy of access than almost any prison in England, and that the convict ship, which he describes as a terra incognita, have been so amply eX• plored, as to no new discovery to be made respecting them. It is known to our readers, that great improvement has within the last few years, been made in prison discipline ; and the hulks having come in for their share of it, it is, therefore, not fair to rake up charges against them, made in reports twenty years ago, which, however true then, have long since been remedied. Mr. Holford, in commencing his work, seems to have deter mined to find fault with every thing, and affects a wonderful deal of feeling and humanity for the convicts, which, 'certainly does to us appear a good deal like cant. It seems that the. convicts are occasionally permitted to receive game little money from their friende,,which enables them to get a little tea or coffee ohis Mr. Holford deprecates as a luXury-•,•because the poorer convicts cannot afford it ; besides it is not the only luxury in which the patrician convicts'indulge, lor,Mr. Holford, in the Justitia hulk at Woolwich, saw, actually saw, " two of the convict employed in the preparation of peppermint-drops for sale in the ship ;" nay, more, the officer who went round with hint, stated, " that these drops were very much liked by the prisoners, being very cons fortable in a raw damp morning, when they were going to, work." What, convicts indulge in the luxury of unadulterated peppermint! Think of that, Mr. Secretary . Peel. Why, the offenders ought to be hung, with a string of peppermint round their necks, as Jack Cade hung the clerk of Chatham with his bile horn, when he had set copies for boys instead of having a mark for him self, " like an honest plain-dealing man." That a crime of such magnitude did not escape a person with the Argus eyes of Mr. Belford is very natural, and he thus ex presses his honest indignation against such an outrage. "It is," says he, " repugnant to 'every feeling of propriety, that a convict who boa opulent friends or connections, or has himself a command of money, however acquired, should drink tea and coffee in prison, and should comfort or fortify his stomach with peppermint before he goes to work, while his fellowlrisoner, who is friendless and in indigence, is to have his draught of cold water rendered lees pa latable than it would be otherwise, - by the sight of these lUxuries, of which it is not his power to partake." • This tine burst of declamation at the inequality of ranK and fortune, is only equalled in our language by Mathews's election harangue in his invitations, in which a mob orator deprecates the rich man drinking "Mocha coffee out of chancy cups, from foreign parts abroad, as if our own Worcester manufacture was not good enough for biro;" while the poor man, "which never can have any can only console himself with walking forth, and pointing out to his children the eintsternation of the stars, shining forth in their emulgence in the ereolian heavens." But to be serious- 7 411 e picture is somewhat overcharged, for if the more fortunate do occasionally indulge in coffee and pepper mint, the poorest of them, however friendless and indigent, : have good oatmeal or barley for breakfast. Other inaccuracies, into which we suspect Mr. Holford has fallen,' might he pointed out, and had his complaints been made in Parliament, we doubt not, would have been so : and, although the hulks' system may not he e erfect, and %e'en, he correct in every thing be has stated, (which is by no m ean t the' case,) he has failed in making out any very strong or serious charge against it. What may be the object of Mr. Milord in denouncing the hulks, and extolling the merits of the Penitentiary, we know not, unless, as the latter is princi pally under his own direction, his personal vanity is ' flattered by it; in one point, however,. the hulks are preferable —,we allude to the cheapness .of them, as compared with the Penitentiary, for which Mr. Holford has so strong an attachment, and which, should his.serviees ever 'nee with a due reward, will, we bop . , be perpetuated by his Majesty creating him a pear, with the title of Lord Milbank. That tome of his suggestion s i n hi s pamphlet are good, we bel i e ", a nd we object leas to the subject matter of it that to the spirit in which to us it , appears to bo Written.
